I don't follow your point iemanja Aug 2024 #4

the allegation, no, the prosecution of the convicted felon for this, yes, a myth. republianmushroom Aug 2024 #9

Oh, right iemanja Aug 2024 #11

Did the NSA record the call? C_U_L8R Aug 2024 #2

If Netanyahu took the call they most certainly did. stumpysbear Aug 2024 #5

I'm taking a shot at Garland iemanja Aug 2024 #16

A shot at him for not prosecuting under a law widely believed to be unconstitutional? tritsofme Aug 2024 #18

A shot at him for how he handled Trump in general iemanja Aug 2024 #19

So to atone for these supposed transgressions you want him to prosecute under an unconstitutional law? That makes sense. tritsofme Aug 2024 #38

It is very unlikely to be good law. Courts don't hear hypothetical cases tritsofme Aug 2024 #37
